An organization called Save the Children has just published a report ranking nations by a number of factors including maternal mortality rate, the mortality rate for children under-five, and the percent of kids in preschool. The US doesn't score very well and has been defined as a tough place to be a mother. In addition to the measures mentioned above it was said that the US has "the least generous maternity leave policy -- both in terms of duration and percent of wages paid -- of any nation."
Dang. I'm raising my next kid in Ireland.
